I'll tell you what.

If the protestants on this board can collectively raise $1000 before August 1st for Connie and Mark's legal defense, I will refrain from using using the words "sorcery" and "witchcraft" and their derivatives "sorcerer," "sorceress," and "witch" (as well as the plural forms thereof) for 100 days.

That's $10 bucks a day.

I don't think that it's going to be easy to sort donations by faith.

You're taking this way too seriously. Dave made the challenge, I'm counter-challenging.

Trust me, I'm not going to protest too loudly if you include Mormon donors like Grig, or a Jew like EdS.

The whole idea here is to help Connie and Mark raise funds.

GG's just trying to lighten things up and help out.

I'd suggest all of those on FD: Jews, Hindus(We have at least 2), Catholics and Protestants, and atheists pitch in. And yes, if we have closet Muslims who believe in freedom and liberty, them too.

Traditional and paleos and the neo conservatives should unite temporalily on this issue.

Social liberals and social conservatives should too.

Libertarians, objectivists and big government conservatives.

Fiscons and economic libs, too.

Global Warming belivers and Global Warming doubters.



Harper admirers and Harper loathers.

It is of vital importance that we stand together as one on this issue.


The other stuff can always wait.

That I would normally protest, since, as you know, I still have a soft spot for Mennonites and the Amish. (Since they have big families, know how to cook a good meal, and sell me fresh produce). However, I'll make an exception this time since it's for Connie and Mark...

BTW we tried the broccolli cheese casserole tonight from the Mennonite cookbook you recommended. It was delicious.

What concerns me is the even remote possibility that we may lose this forum as a venue in which to agree and dispute positions on issues of fundamental importance to our society.
The most effective way to stifle democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: activist judges, human rights tribunals, parliamentary committees, civil service bureaucrats and political party hacks.

It should concern everyone WV.

Well, since the Jewish faith closely resembles ours, I think we should ask the Jews to come in with us. :lol:
